You couldn't darken it, some of the questioners are holding DarkLightbulbs over their heads these days...
Heck, Beiber and Wand Erection together would raise the average IQ over there sometimes.

I've often wondered about the concept of "negative IQ": Someone who is so stupid that they reduce the intelligence of everyone in their presence just by trying to communicate. If they talk long enough everybody in the room turns into a drooling fool!

It's not a concept, it's reality.

Trust me - I've had my share! 
To be fair, I've worked a lot at science based establishments, with lots of scientists and engineers. They have their quirks but, for the most part, they have functioning grey matter.

Even then the old adage applies: "The IQ of a committee is the IQ of the brightest member divided by the number of participants"

You need to cast the spell "Illuminati de Error". Once you do this, you should be able to go back into your game panel and see the magically revealed error message, with true cause.

I can understand why that upset you; that is such an obscurantism of what was obviously intended, which was to ask you:
"To what extent did you wax wroth trying to use this article ?"
Secretary: "The Dean is furious. He's waxing wroth."
Quincy Adams Wagstaf [Groucho]: "Is Roth out there too? Tell Roth to wax the Dean for a while."
Movie "Horse Feathers," 1932 [^]

Wish I could upvote twice: once for "wroth" and another time for the Marx Brothers quote.

So some litchen walks into a party.
The host asks him if he wants a drink.The litchen says no and thanks and sits in the corner.
The host says they are going to play spin the bottle, again the the litchen says no and adds, "No I prefer to just sit here in the corner".
A drunk guy turns up and asks the lichen to a pint downing contest. The litchen refuses and says again, "No I prefer to just sit here in the corner".
Then, two really good looking Japanese twins arrive giggling and ask the litchen if it wants to dance. Again. the litchen refuses politely.
By this point the host is getting really annoyed at the fun-black-hole sucking enjoyment at the room, so he approaches the litchen.
"I don't get it", the host asks, "every time you've been asked if you want a drink, you've refused. We played a party game and you didn't want to join in. Then, absolutely smokin' twins, who were clearly into you, asked you to dance and you just sat here in the corner. What's wrong with you?"
The litchen replied "I guess I'm just not a fungi".

He should have invited a mushroom.
So some mushroom walks into a party.
The host asks him if he wants a drink.The mushroom says yes and takes a drink
The host says they are going to play spin the bottle, again the the mushroom says yes and plays spin the bottle.
A drunk guy turns up and asks the mushroom to a pint downing contest. The mushroom says yes and wins the contest.
Then, two really good looking Japanese twins arrive giggling and ask the mushroom if it wants to dance. The mushroom dances like a pro.
By this point the host is getting really impressed, so he approaches the mushroom.
He tells the mushroom how impressed he is at it's participation in the party and how happy he is that he could be there.
The mushroom replies: "I guess I'm just a fungi"

My new webcab arrived yesterday, and I thought I'd get it set up.
So - despite the installation instructions being one side of a piece of paper 13cm x 13cm (and the legal bumpf being twice the size, in tiny little writing and repeated in gawd knows how many languages) I managed to get it all started. After all, they were "plug the damn thing in"...
So it starts installing drivers 
And then the software installation. So I check, as I don;t want a "logitech toolbar" or "LogiSearch" - and to their credit neither of these things appeared.
But it wanted to install "Logitech Vid" and since I hadn't heard of this, I clicked the link "What is Logitech Vid?".
And my computer does sod all. And then...up pops IE. 
Why? Why faff with my system and bring up IE when Chrome Canary is open and Chrome is my my default browser? If I wanted to view your site in IE, I'd open it in IE...
And what is Logitech Vid? Dunno - the page it opened didn't tell me.
A quick google did - it's Skype For Logitech. Do I want it? Don't think so.
[edit]
I decided to install it anyway, and the final installation step was to set it up.
"This service is not available since 2013, please use Skype instead".
So, you downloaded an installer from your site which tried hard to get me to install software for a service you discontinued over a year ago? Nice one Logitech, on the ball here I see...

It probably has some ActiveX control that requires IE.
My XVision web browser interface needs IE due to ActiveX. Although you can access the feeds via a standard RTSP viewer if you want to.

It didn't ask me to enable or install any such, and they are disabled more tightly than Beibers talent...

Typical Logitech... Great hardware, horrible software...
My primary keyboard, mouse, webcam, and two headsets are all Logitech, but their drivers have always been horribly bloated.

Gosh, did you even look at the use-by date on the packaging to see if it was still fresh ?
